So it makes sense why removing Verdansk would’ve been controversial, it was a very balanced well rounded BR map. Activision shot Vanguard and, Warzone Pacific by extension, in the foot with that move. Also, when Warzone Pacific launched it was a buggy and unplayable mess due to the fact they didn’t merge Vanguard into Warzone properly. In a vaccum, Warzone Pacific was really fun. Caldera was an excellent BR map, it look visually intresting (which was a problem I had with verdansk, very dull looking), it still had Rebirth Island and they gave new attention to Rebirth in that phase, and Fortunes Keep was an under-appreciated masterpiece, probably the best thing in Warzone Pacific. When Warzone 2.0 launched they removed Rebirth and Fortune altogether and rebranded it to “Warzone, Caldera,” without giving Warzone Pacific a proper Halloween event, and the even they gave as a conclusion, well, it was lack luster too. And yes I do acknowledge that the Warzone Pacific story line got completely ridiculous after a bit but it was kinda funny and it works if you view it as Butcher going off his rocker. In the future I hope they bring Caldera back, I think it’d work as an Outbreak experience in Black Ops 2024.

The elevated terrain on Caldera offered more tactical and strategic challenges that made gameplay more interesting.
I miss the sounds of insects and birds.
Caldera was an excellent map?? You’re delusional dude
If they bring Caldera back you would have to pay me money to play it. No way i am setting another foot on that shitty ass island ever again.
Caldera was a terrible map. Glad it’s gone.
It wasn’t my fav map of course, but it certainly wasn’t as a bad as was said.
It’ll be the same with the new map. It’s hard to suit everyone because of the styles and skills involved person to person.
